Wonderful Publication

WOW. This is a great magazine. Until I recieved it I didn't realize it was a Catholic Company. No Wonder why many of our faithful Non-Catholic brothers and sisters first got turned off. The ORIGINAL 7 books of the Old Testament (no they were not put in recently by the Catholic Church) have always been in the Bible that our Church Fathers assembled. Even Jesus read these books. It was the reformation that took the 7 Old Testament books out and renamed it the Apocropha. This is a serious publication. Please read it in the way you love your Church (no matter what denomination)and you'll see the Catholic Church and it's people are just like you.

Great for Bible study groups or for self study

If you have desired to read through the entire or most parts of the Bible but did not know where to begin or how to understand the cryptic passages, then this magazine is for you. Besides being a motivative guide to the Bible, each issue has prefix and postfix commentation from the author which gives you an overview of the month's reading and the author's interpretation. Nonetheless, I believe laymen would find most appealing about God's Word Today is how the author usually surrounds the reading with historical background to help us better comprehend its meaning as the passage was originally intended to be interpreted.

A Catholic Publication

I wanted a publication that featured daily readings that were linked to specific Bible passages. I nearly found what I was looking for, though I didn't realize that it was a Catholic publication at the time I purchased a subscription. So be warned that unless you have a Bible with Apocrypha or a Catholic Bible, there may be some issues with sections which you will be unable to read the selected Bible passages. Not disgraceful (as another reviewer put it), but something that one may want to consider prior to purchasing a subscription.
